The Susanville Police Department is inviting you to bring your pet to their low-cost Rabies and license clinic Saturday, May 16th, in Memorial Park.
The event which is sponsored by the Susanville Police, Lassen Humane Society, Lassen County and the City of Susanville will include training demonstrations by SitSpot Canine Center and Treats Natural Pet Marketplace. Dr. Nelson and Dr. Taylor will be on hand to help you keep your dogs and cats healthy and vaccinated.
“We are looking forward to a great turnout,” says Susanville Chief of Police Tom Downing, “resulting in a safer community through animal vaccinations and licensing.”
Downing also expressed his thanks to all of the vendors and community partners who have agreed to provide their services for this clinic.
City licenses are $3.50 for altered pets, $8 for unaltered and for County licenses the cost is $5 for altered pets and $15 for unaltered. Rabies vaccinations will be $8.
Why does your dog need to be licensed? Chief Downing explains:
“Animal licensing assists the police department and county animal control personnel in identifying the owner of a stray or runaway animal. A dog that is licensed and wearing their identification tags can be returned to the owner quicker and avoid being taken to the animal shelter.”
Make sure when you visit the event that your dog is on a leash and cats must be in pet carriers. If you are just coming for the license you must bring a current rabies vaccination certificate.
The Clinic will be held at Memorial Park from 10a.m. to 2:00p.m. Saturday, May 16th.
